What is Regenerative Agriculture?
Regenerative agriculture is a system prioritizing soil restoration, biodiversity enhancement, and ecosystem resilience through practices like cover cropping and rotational grazing. It aims to reverse environmental damage while maintaining agricultural productivity.
Core Benefits
- Improves soil organic matter and fertility
- Increases carbon sequestration to combat climate change
- Enhances water retention and drought resilience
- Reduces dependency on synthetic fertilizers/pesticides
- Boosts farm profitability through cost savings
Environmental & Economic Impact
Studies show regenerative methods increase crop yields by up to 40% in drought conditions while reducing input costs by 30%, creating $1.9 trillion in potential economic benefits globally.
